What is recorded here
Three stones still stand in Slisgarrow, County Fermanagh, possibly marking a prehistoric tomb where human bodies once lay hidden beneath earth and stone. They are scheduled, uncertain in age, and clear in presence: a small altar of endurance left behind when the people who built it disappeared. Touch the edge of one and feel the cold weight of centuries return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE STANDING STONES; possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Possibly a megalithic tomb dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential as a rare surviving prehistoric monument in the Slisgarrow area, though its exact function and date remain uncertain.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
